Well, why not? One thing is absolutely clear from our more recent experiences, you never know for sure how these appointments turn out. Some of the critical comment on here about Dyche seems (only seems) to be based on him being very British (therefore no good), and comes from the despised little Burnley. We might be pleasantly surprised, which would make a change from being unpleasantly surprised.

The other week I didn't mind the mention of Dyche being linked with us, as I didn't really believe there was a chance of us being relegated, I thought he could be good choice taking us forward, and even if it took a while to bed in, it would be fine.

For some reason now I'm not so confident we definitely won't be in a relegation fight, for that reason I can feel myself leaning towards Allardyce, for a short term fix only.
